520 |a The chapter critically explores the apparent paradox of the police in English-speaking Caribbean and other former colonial countries historical reluctance to enforce criminal legislation designed to outlaw same-sex activities among males. This issue is important given the prevailing assumption that colonial/former colonial police passively enforced laws formed in the Metropolitan countries and has been reignited in the face of efforts of the US to exercise its cultural hegemony against primarily black nation-states in the developing world by the aggressive promotion of their LGBTQ agenda at the expense of their national priorities. To complicate matters research in several English-speaking Caribbean countries indicate hostility against same- sex relationships. Despite this evidence the police have not changed their traditional reluctance to enforce the laws prohibiting same-sex activity. The chapter attempts to reconcile these issues and critically explores the various implications around why weak Caribbean countries have become the primary targets of this new Western priority.
